Annual Polaris meeting 2024 in Lyon

Annual meeting 2024

Thank you for your very active participation in this year's meeting! As announced, here are the notes taken during the session:

Following topics have been recorded:

• Idea: add DGs, DGEs and DGNs to RS Polaris (Other Contacts), to give them access to more information than is available to the public (“user statistics” in particular) => confirm interest to Marion for implementation.
• Polaris promotion: confirm interest to Marion for implementation. Promotion of Polaris: Create an eye-catching tool presenting the key features of Polaris to promote it actively and effectively => the DICOs offer to coordinate this project with the Polaris team.
• Use of RMD : for DICOs as well as DGs, DGNs and DGEs => can be a tool for collaboration between districts and coordinated communication with all French Polaris clubs.
• Rotary organization => zones of the AGs : for districts whose AG sectors do not correspond to club distribution zones, create a second distribution by AG sector => DICOs or district teams concerned can forward their lists to Marion for implementation.

The working language of the meeting will be French, with some contributions in English.
